Letter to the editor: Loss of full-time librarian hurts students
It takes a village to educate and develop children fully. A linchpin in student development is the school librarian—a full-time, credentialed librarian. School librarians are highly educated and trained professionals who not only guide and educate students but also provide resources to teachers, staff and parents. Their role in support of students, along with their impact on society through the development of critically thinking community members, should not be underestimated.
